3 Questions: Boosting concrete’s ability to serve as a natural “carbon sink”

MIT researchers found that adding sodium bicarbonate to concrete mixes significantly boosts the material's ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide from the air. This approach offers a practical way to reduce concrete's carbon footprint while leveraging the material's natural sequestration properties.

MIT CSHub postdoc Damian Stefaniuk unpacks new research to bolster concrete’s natural carbon sequestration potential by adding sodium bicarbonate in mixes.
